For two years I had Jerry take my horse, Lil Bit of Color, and ride her on the 10 day camping trip in the high country. Both years I brought a list of ‘fix its’ and things that needed tuning up. The list of improvements is long – however the following are the most significant and miraculous changes: Regulating her speed on the trail and getting her to stop tail gating (she’s a horse with a ‘big motor’), loading her in a trailer on command – just telling her “load up” – it used to take me 20 minutes to get her in! The biggest correction of all was – About twice a year she used do a sudden and fast 180 when she spooked at an animal hiding in the bushes. The centrifugal force threw me off more than once before I could even realize what happened. Very scary. After her 10 day ride/training with Jerry – she has never done it again and it has now been 3 years!!! I have no idea how he trained her out of it – but it feels like a Miracle to me and gives me peace of mind on the trail!!

Jerry has been around horses and mules his entire life starting with his Father’s involvement in driving mules for logging. An accomplished farrier as a young man, Jerry has gone on to become known and respected as one of North America’s top horse and mule trainers. The people who know Jerry would say he has helped them become a much better horseman and a better person and achieve the relationship with their animal they desire.
